Surrounded by antique olive trees, almond trees and carobs, this tower once a stronghold against the Turks, has now become a five stars resort whose aim is to bring back the guests to the antique natural life and make them benefit in full from the simple pleasures of rural life.
The courtyard hosts an ancient chapel dating from 1730 where the people of Savelletri, a fishermen's village nearby, walked to worship the patron saints, before reaching the tufara, the quarry where the tuffs to build the farm were cut; this tufara has now become the vegetable garden farm; along an ancient pergola from which the resourceful irrigation technology can be observed.
